That’s the second time in 24 hours I’ve seen “Ethernet splitter”, is that a thing now? What does it refer to? A hub? A switch? Either? Something else?

Is this a joke? You can literally just splice together some Ethernet cables and all the devices will work unless there’s some specific configuration on the router to prevent that.

… stepped away to confirm my prior knowledge…

Well maybe not, seems like CSMA/CD (used for the above mentioned connectivity) is not as commonly implemented as it once was.

For $2 more he could have had a 5 port gigabit switch. I don't know what their use case was for that abomination.
